Hello please I need help. I went to an approved testing centre(Mikon institute in Benin) to make inquiries about SAT registration, and I was told that the registration plus study materials plus tutorials is N105k.. I shock.. i simply told them to give me the price for just the registration, i was told N55,500.I tried to tell them that the reg fee on the college board website is $45 without eassy+$35 add ons for non US residents, bringing the total cost for registration to $80 which is N28k In naira (N350/$), I even asked them if I can just register by myself online and choose their institute as my testing centre(it's the only approved centre in Benin) but they told me that it's not possible. That I must go through them. please i'll appreciate advice thanks.

Forget those people, go to college board website and register the test yourself with paypal or your naira debit card, but the exchange might not be $350 since its not stable but after making the payment you will know how much your bank charged you.

Also you dont need to go through them before writing the exam in their centre, don't let them deceive you..

It is possible to do it online yourself now and not like before because registration method has changed..

Good day, Good people.

Is in-law (elder sister's husband) credible to VO to use as sponsor?

As long as you can explain to the VO why the person is your sponsor then it is credible

benjijosh:
Am a 400lvl student in a federal university
studying Mathematics here in Nigeria, I am so
mean to have my M.Sc in computer science from a
reputable university in The United States. Have
been hearing and reading a lot of issues about
denial of Visa here on NL so i would like if someone
could guide me through on how to start
processing. I am the last of the 4children in my
family, my dad is a retired civil servant (retired
Feb. 15) , I have two brothers and one sister, My
eldest brother is a civil servant and also own a
Business(printing on polythene) and I think he is
financially OK, the other one is self-employed. My
sister is a teacher in a secondary school. I would
love to know the minimum amount for tuition fee
and living expenses in any reputable university
over there(my dad is retired and yet to receive is
gratitude/pension but from the little he saved he
can still give 4million Max and my brother can still
support with 2million max) i can still afford to pay
for my flight and visa and for my exam any exam i
must take(profiency in English).
The only related person i have there is the sister
of my sister's husband.
what are steps needed to start processing??

what are the chances of me given visa?

do you think the fund at hand now is enough to
see me through for my stay?

is there anyway the govt. there could finance me
and i work for them after my studies?

do you know of anu individual/organisation/
company that is capable of financing me and i work
for them after my studies?

do you think am being too ambitious, maybe i
should just forget studying there?

or US isn't the place for me mayb i should set for
Europe(where in Europe)??

Between is there any scholarship for my kind(an
first class student currently on 4.63/5.0 scale)

Thanks in anticipation.

I will advise and suggest that you stick to thread like bread and butter in order for you to learn more and start reading from part 3 till recent part and focus on your final year first and make sure you get the first class and it will help you to go for Ph.D directly in some schools in US that match you profile.

Also during your nysc year you can start searching for schools that suit your taste with the amount that you mentioned above, then write GRE and Toefl but make sure you have good scores because it will help you during funding or scholarship application also with a good statement of purpose as well.

If you get good grades in those test and good Gpa, you will end up getting a full ride scholarship and you won't spend much for either your Msc or Ph.D

Lastly some schools will ask you to evaluate your university transcript and make sure you get ready to do that too..

Wishing you all the best

I cannot go and come and kill myself

Lol...

If I received such email I will just ask them to wait make I ask oracle if I will come or not

KPhantom:
and there are no penalties or mark deductions for wrong answers in the new SAT.

Yes boss!

Thanks for adding that to it

KPhantom:
true, i've searched online for the new sat material, but couldn't find any, just the detailed syllable from the college board and some practice tests. I may use my secondary maths text to prepare for the math section, and the TOEFL materials you sent me to prepare for the English section.

You can buy the latest SAT materials Barron to be precise at Ojuelegba or yaba

Would a Nigerian credit card configured for internet banking work?

All cards must be configured for online transaction before making use of it..

tomisinobbm:
That's even good. Is it through PayPal or what?
They told my bro to bring dollars not even the naira equivalent

Paypal and credit or debit card enable to online payment.

Everybody is looking for dollars now..

LagosismyHome:
Thanks. ....got ya. As for the bold i am not a believer ooo of its benefits .....but if u guys say so i hear ...lol

Lol...

If what you are thinking is about performance that's not the health benefits I am talking about.

It goes beyond that and while we are small and young then, majority of the parents gives it to their children since children love taking sugary things, I hope you remember the consequence of it and that is the health benefits am relating the previous post to.

tomisinobbm:
Its not advisable they use that. I really don't know the content of the new SAT, but let's avoid stories that touch so it's better they are aware.

It is still the same syllabus either old or new SAT.

College board just redefined the test, before applicants register and the test officially comprises 3 sections (essay, critical reading and mathematics) but now applicant register and the test officially comprises 2 sections (critical reading and mathematics) while essay is optional and when applicant pick essay applicant will pay for it.


The only difference I noticed few days ago was that college board didn't make eassy section compulsory for the new SAT, it is the applicant that will personally request for the essay section during registration and then pay for it and which makes it higher than the new SAT

Another good news I discovered there is that applicant can register for this new SAT by themselves without going through Gieva anymore..

Pls send to me also Ibeh_nd@yahoo.Com

Although the answer no dey for me. I am confused by what u wrote. .....u said soak it when u get to Obama land. Do u mean soak after u leave the airport

Also i think Ekofisk just mentioned something about soak it in water although didn't mention at some point. ... i guess also maybe because i am not clear in what form it comes in .

Sure after leaving airport and the person settled down.

Most people I have seen usually take it to Obamaland without soaking it inside water even someone that left to Texas last week Wednesday his cousin told him and warned him not to soak it inside water because it will be siezed at Poe.

Since some people claimed and said that they soaked it and they didn't sieze it from them, I assume that the officers who usually siezed the ones soaked inside water usually take it home and drink it for their own health benefits if I am not wrong.

soulhighman:
I think greatghana is same person as greatmaths. He signed in again as greatmaths to post another question, but forgetfully replied the quote on his question as greatghana.

Lol..

Let him continue that way and it's not today that people like him come here to use that kind of trick but am sure he will get confused on a long run.

greatmath:
Please i want to go for second masters in the USA, i studied mathematics i graduated with 2.48 of 5point, i have my master in mathematics in unilag,i graduated with 2.74 of 4 {Wes evaluation}.

i want to go for second master in mathematics in the USA, can someone recommend a school with low tuition and the one that can accept this grades for a masters in mathematics, i have done my TOEFL i scored 96, most schools does not requires GRE for mathematics graduate

please help

Why can't you go for something related to mathematics since you have Msc in mathematics.

To me it sounds as if you want to repeat Msc in mathematics but in a new school if I am not wrong

Kabz:
Great work guys. I'm one of the invisibles. Currently preparing for my GRE, I will be taking the exam in October. Just a little question, Is taking the TOEFL a compulsory requirement or it's a school specific thing.

It depend on the school requirement that you are apply to..

tomisinobbm:
Please for those who have gone and resumed for undergrad, kindly enlighten me on placement test.

Placement test should be in both maths and English and the questions are almost the same syllabus as high school and SAT test which involves algebra, arithmetic, etc. just like what we called post utme here in Nigeria

THANKS
cc: Lagosismyhome, walspring.... And others who just entered the US

It is allowed if you didn't soak it inside water.

When you get to Obamaland just soak it instead of soaking it before getting to US and the officer at Poe sieze it from you.
